I don't know on your pc... but on mine it says "the target of the project was not reached until december 22nd 2016"
But they still got 4k+ $

I'm not sure which part of it erodes my faith in human intelligence te most: that they raised 4K at all, or that they expected to raise 210K in just one month...

I might consider buying it once it gets so smart that I can throw it into itself.

I wasn't familiar with Montserrat Caballé, but this post is also timely due to the imminent release of the Freddie Mercury biopic (Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) - IMDb[^]).

She was much more than Freddie's duet partner. One of the finest opera sopranos of her generation.

Even if it's not everyone's cup of tea, one still has to appreciate Mercury's part in those songs. I never realize just how much I miss him until I hear anything of his. This is no exception.
[Edit] I didn't mean to make this all about him.

R.I.P. Why Montserrat ever collaborated with Mercury is lost on me: like garnishing a Happy Meal with pate de foie gras. When Mercury's fine voice was not submerged in the noise made by Queen, and the dreadful viva Las Vegas production numbers and arrangements, it was wonderful.

She was not too offended by it. Since it has Thunderbird, and Libre Office, she's okay with me replacing Win7. Happy days!

A few weeks before we got a new laptop for wife... I tried to make her moving away from Windows (it would make it a 500 NIS less), but even seeing the kids about 3 years now on Linux - and getting along pretty well - didn't helped...
She now using W10... A waste of the power of that Dell beauty...

How do you like Libre Office, John? I refuse to play the software subscription game that MicroSucks is trying to foist on us, so I refuse to buy into the Office 365 scam. I don't do clouds, except on rainy days. How does the Libre product compare to the MS version?

Haven't used it yet. I'm trying to work out wireless issues - none of the laptops seem to be able to connect via wireless. It looks like the drivers are there, and the adapters are found, but it they refuse to bend to my will.

I did show them the trash can outside several times, but those subtle hints were essentially ignore. I may have to make an example of one of them...

So, once again, MS is my source of laughs today. I get my notice to upgrade to VS 15.8.6, which I do. Everything goes fine...almost.
I see four new notices for upgrading some of the extensions. I don't use these particular extensions often, but I like to stay up-to-date anyhow. Two of the upgrades succeed and two fail. I retry those two, just in case something I did mixed them up. No luck.
So, I dig into the log files and find these gems (excerpted)...

Say it with me, "circular dependency", yeah! Thanks MS.
This also came on a day when I'm reading in the news that the latest Windows 10 update may delete (or hide) lots of files. So, I'm busy making backups as well. Thanks MS!
Some of the highlights of this lovely update include the following. Best of luck everyone!

One word answer: Linux.
And if you must use windows: 7 ---- ideally in a VM in your linux.
Anything else is just waste of your time (notwithstanding a less efficient use of your computing resources.) Before the mslemmings answer: consider how much is your time worth?
win10 is still a huge fail.
